This workshop is designed to help you expand your skills as a songwriter both musically and lyrically. The seminar will cover the history of rock music songwriting sharing the styles of notable artists like Lennon/McCartney, Bob Dylan, Pete Townshend, Bruce Springsteen, Prince and many more to compare to modern day songwriters. We will open you up to exploring new techniques and approaches to songwriting and grow an understanding of what makes a good song become a great song.

In addition, we are providing a workshop for you to work with other songwriters in creating new music. You will get the chance to develop your skills in collaboration work, gain exposure to a variety of points of view, and receive informative critiques on your songwriting.
